Akshay Kumar will be finally essaying the role of a lawyer, something which he had been looking forward to since long. After much speculations, the Rustom star has confirmed that he will be a part of Jolly LLB 2.
The film’s first installment starred Arshad Warsi, Boman Irani and Saurabh Shukla in key roles. For the second installment, director Subhash Kapoor has now altered the cast completely. While Akshay will be the male lead, actress Huma Qureshi will be starring as the female lead in the film. This is the first time, the two will be working together.
There have been talks that Boman Irani will now be replaced by Paresh Rawal in this film.
The courtroom comedy drama is all set to kickstart in August and will be first shot in Lucknow. The sequel will release in 2017.
Since past few years, Akshay Kumar has been one of the few to experiment with onscreen roles. The superstar has confirmed "Jolly LLB 2," in which he will play a lawyer.
Talking to Catch News, Akshay said what excited him the most was his role and the fact that he hasn't played a lawyer before. "Jolly LLB 2 is a nice script and I quite liked it. I really liked the directors' (Subhash Kapoor) work and I have never played a lawyer's role ever. It is something that I am going to enjoy," Akshay elaborated.
The sequel will roll on Aug. 15 for a 25-day schedule at Lucknow, after which the unit will head to Varanasi and then wrap it up in Kashmir, the web portal reported. Akshay's character is loosely based on Kanpur-based lawyer Jagdish Mishra.
"Jolly LLB 2" will apparently be the actor's first release of 2017. Rajinikanth's "2.0" and "Namastey England" (if it takes off this year that is) are the other two films, which will arrive in theatres next year.
Akshay is busy promoting "Rustom," where he plays a tainted naval officer who killed his wife's lover. The first trailer of the Tinu Suresh Desai-directorial is out and it's gripping.
Because the crime-thriller will be out alongside Hrithik Roshan's "Mohenjo Daro" on Aug. 12, the makers may have to keep their promotions game on point. Apparently, "Rustom" has two more trailers scheduled for release, one of which may be attached with Salman Khan's "Sultan."
